Pearl Amanda Dickson and Richard Orofino build languid pop songs from murmured dual vocals, distorted guitars, synth haze and sudden abrasive turns. Recent single “Life is a Circle” adds fiddle, harmonica, wooden recorders, accordion, 808s and a quantized horse sample, suggesting a set that can move from hushed slowcore to cluttered, rhythmic release.
